Good footwork doesn't mean they fight like Dominick Cruz. Cruz has better footwork, he's far more unorthodox, and his angles are incredible. Stylistically speaking, TJ is a long ways away from being Cruz.

Speaking as the biggest Dominick Cruz fan on this board and someone who has analyzed Cruz's fights, I think Dillashaw is looking A LOT like Cruz.

He's using so many trademark Cruz techniques, I'm kinda baffled to be quite honest. I think his angles are just as good as Cruz's to be honest, the only difference I've seen is in the way Cruz changes levels. Dillashaw isn't as good because he just doesn't have as many grappling tools as Cruz does, but Dillashaw also maintains perfect stance while switching angles and retains a lot of the power that Cruz loses when he strikes.

I think Cruz is more technical, better use of angles and better defensively but he tends to slow down in championship rounds. Dillashaw has better cardio and more power especially in his kicks. Other then that they are pretty similiar. 

Cruz vs Barao makes much more sence now and I think Cruz is gonna dance the **** out of him into unanimous decision and then go after Dillashaw.
